Eric Doman would like to play in the FOG AM period however it looks like he will not have a partner to play along side, is there anyone out there who would be willing to partner Eric at Usk?

If there are please feel free to drop me a PM.

Dave

I think that Richard's email is wrong on the website it should be:

rbs@byzant.demon.co.uk

Which bit of which web-site?

It is listed correctly twice in the post above, and also in both the FOG tournament documents linked above, and also in the Godendag 2012 page on my web-site, and also in the e-mail I sent out to all last year's entrants.

Where is the errant typo, so that I may correct it?

(P.S., I am pretty sure that Bob had the same problem last year.)

Any chance of getting chups with the jacket potatoes, or maybe a tofu burger on day two for variety? Talk about ya stereotype, Trev.

Point 10 of FoG rules is incorrectly coded for a start. The visible text is correct but the link isn't

Well as I have less than 2/3 of the army lists in yet, no......

FOGAM players are slacking, for FOGR have a much higher proportion (but not all).

My partner has dropped out.

Anybody got a free weekend that wants to use half of a rubbish army?
